Yes.

If they were that good, why did we suffer through Josh Downs, and why was Logan, a late round pick, by far our best tackle?

Not knocking the guys, I pray they have breakout years.

Because that's the way shite works out sometimes. It's not always as cut-and-dry as you think. I just don't think it's that ridiculous to think that either Freak or Ego would be first round picks. Freak especially has shown flashes of absolute brilliance. Given a chance to in our 2-deep, think he will shine.

3rd round is late?

It doesn't matter who the starters are at DL because Chavis likes to play at least 8 or 9 guys. Ego and Freak logged about the same amount of time as the two starters last season.

So there's no way we were going to have a good line in 2011 right? We had to "suffer" through pep Livingston and our best tackle Nevis went in the late rounds (3rd) Haha. Brockers hadn't shown anything and who else did we even have (Logan)? By this logic college football has been getting worse every season since its existence. Unless you had a player come in and start as a freshman...

Bottom line those 2011 tackles were some of the best we've ever had they just needed a chance to prove it and develop. Ego and freak are 10x more proven than brockers and Logan going into 2011
